CUFF-SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,324, dated June 29, 1880.

Application filed April 15, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom c't'may concern Be it known that I, FRANK V. LIBBY, of Manchester, in the county of Hillsborongh, State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cuff- Supporters, of which the following is a de scription sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, showing the supporter detached from the cuff, and Fig. 2 a view showing it in use.

Like letters indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.

My invention relates to'that class of cuffsupporters which are designed for holding or supporting the cuff without the aid of a stud; and it consists in a novel construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a simpler, cheaper, and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.

In the drawings, A represents the body of the supporter; B, the plate or button; 0, the hook, and D the slide or guard.

The body is bent as shown at m, the short arm or portion so only being attached to the under side of the button, thus leaving a space between the long arm or body proper and the button, into which the cuff is passed when the supporter is in use.

The extreme end of the hook D is bent or corrugated as shown at z, and the interior of the slide D is curved or shaped to correspond therewith, so that when the slide is forced upwardly over the point of the hook the slide will become locked or retained securely in that position, thus preventing the hook from being accidentally detached when in use, and also protecting the wearer from injury.

In the use of my invention the hook 0, body A, and slide D are passed from the outside through the rear button-holes, a, of the cuff E, and the hook attached to a fold of the shirtsleeve G, as shown in Fig. 1, after which the 1 guard is slipped over the point of the hook, as described.

Itwill be obvious that the position of the cuff may be regulated as desired, and that the stud for attaching the cuff to the sleeve in the usual manner may be entirely dispensed with where the supporter is used.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is- The improved cuff-supporter described, consisting of the body A, button B, slide D, and hook 0, provided with the corrugated point z, constructed and arranged to operate substalr tially as specified.

FRANK V. LIBBY.
